The Forged Times Letter.

LONDON. May 1.-Mr. Parnell is still alb
sent from Parliament, recruiting his health
at Avondale. He hopes to be able to meet
his party advisers tomorrow. The forged
Times letter has been submitted to experts
who state that the forger was doubtless a
stranger to ParnelI, or at least unfamiliar
with his writings, and that he probably
had only one signature of Parnelfs
to copy from, and, further than this, they
express the belief that the signature used
as an example was written with a stylo-
graph pen or pencil. All the special char
acteristics of his unusual signature are
wanting in the forgery. Under the mathe-
NAUTICAL law OF average Mr. Parnell would
write signature resembling the forgery
once IN 1853, $50 times. IF Mr.. Parnell had
been dead when the Times letter was pub
lished, or unable from any cause to give
his personal testimony against the genu-
iDeness of the signature, still a skillful and
scientific scrutiny of the evidence other
wise procurable would have sufficed to
prove the signature clumsy forgery.

THE DROUGHT IN TExA
Crops Suffering Seriously for Want o
Rain.

Crops Suffering seriously Tor want OF
Rain.
GALVESTON, Texas. May 1.-The News,
commenting upon the drought, says: The
drought of last year and that OF the present
season are unparalleled. In extreme north
west and southwest Texas there have been
rains of late that will prove Of iRcalculable
benefit to the cattle districts, but the agri'
cultural districts, pure and simple, except,
perhaps, in a limited area in northern
Texas, ere suffering seriously Tor want OF
rain. In all that belt of country between
San Antonio and Austin, from Austin to
Waco, from Waco to Bemond and down
the Central Railroad to Huston, and within
the circumference described by this geogra-
phical circle, the country stands badly in
need of moisture. Oats aDd small grain
within the district specified are almost a
total failure. while corn that should be
well advanced and in vigorous condition is
seriously wilted and in bad condition at
the root. This is the worst fea ture OF the
agricultural situation in central and mio-
die and southern Texas. There is still
time ahead to make a cotton crop, al
though at best the cotton crop is now
bound to be late. Unless rains come
within six or eight days the corn crop in
Texas will be very much of failure. So
serious is this outlook that wholesale
houses are Withdrawing their men from the
road, pending a solution of the rainfall
problem.

Strike of LouisYIlle Carpenters.

LOUISVILLE, May 1.-The carpenters all
over the city on Saturday night handed to
the boss carpenters a notice to the effect
that they would not return to work this
morning at the same pay they had been re-
ceiving of late. They demanded $3.50 a
day for all labor, boys as well as men.
This morning the strike which was to have
taken place was not general. There are
about 800 non-union carpenters in the city,
and only a small proportion of these went
out. The men in some cases were not
willing to go out, but oftener the employ
ers made concessions. There were not al
ways quite up to the demands ofthe car
penters but were sufficient to be satisfac-

BoULANGER,s WAR TACTICS.
a Suggestive Letter From the French
Minister of War.

Minister OF War.
PARIS, May IA suggestive letter by
General BoulaDger, French Minister of War,
was issued yesterday as an appendix to
pamphlet entitled "The Next Franco-Ger-
man Battle" 1t embodies the principles
of military training and tactics put into
practice by BoulaDger since he became
minister. The General declares that DASH
ing and offensive tactics are the best
adapted to the peculiarities of French
troops. who become demoralized by wait
ing. He proposes that at the decisive mo-
ment solid masses which have been held
in reserve shall charge with bands playing
and colors flying, their onset then accnmu-
lating irresistible force. The General ad-
mits that great losses are incurred under
the Tapidity and precision Of the enemy's
fire, out he contends that the greater the
loss of life involved the less chance there
would be of success in isolated and detailed
attacks. He explicitly declares his expec-
tetisn of coming conflict by stating what
the French ought to do when the army
finds itself again on the battle fields of
1870. The publication will tend to renew
the war fever and the tone OF Boulauger's
utierances is such as to inspire confidence
in the proves Of the army.

THE FIRE RECORD.
Big BIazes at Louisville, Kentucky-Other
Fires,

LOUISVILLE, May q very disastrous
lire broke out about 3 O'Clock this morning
at the immense warehouse of Brown,
Johnson IL Co., Fourteenth and Maple
streets. Two alarms were turned in, call
ing out the whole fire department. By
the time the fire engines arrived the ware
house was beyond saving. The flames
mounted high in the air and lit up the
whole city. The building contained an
immense amount of hay, barley, rye, corn
and oats. Half an hour after the ware
house had started burning, the nine story
grain elevator OF Strater Bros, at Four
teenth and Broadway, caught from the
thick flying sparks that the wind carried
in immense quantities for half mile TO
the north. The Strater elevator was within
half block of the burning warehouse, and
could not possibly be saved. The tower
first caught and then the whole structure
became enveloped in one solid mass of
flames. The fremen could do little else but
pay attention to the surrounding resi-
denees. At the time of the breaking out
of the FIRE no less than forty freight cars,
mostly loaded, were lying on the tracks in
the vicinity of the burning buildings. All
but fourteen OF these were saved. The cars
belonged to the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad and were loaded with hay, grain,
etc, and the fourteen totally destroyed,
with their contents, will be a loss of $50,-
900. The loss on the warehouse and

Coke Workers, Troubles,

PITTsBURG, May "A general strike of

strike after tO-morrow's convention. The
operators issued their ultimatum this after
noon, in which they refused to make any
concessions at present, but promised to
consider the matter as soon as there is an
advance in coke. They are preparing to
close down for 4 long and bitter fight.
